10 me Editor Of the Dispatch:
The following is an opinion of a
scie mist, Charles Darwin, whose books
IRE rot much read hereabouts
son this island (Keeling) the wells
ere situated from which ships obtain
water. At first sight 1t appears not a
little remarkable that the fresh water
should regularly ebb and flow with the
tides, and it has even beenimagined that
sand has the power OF filterlng the salt
from the sea water. These ebblng wells
are common on some of the low islands
in the West Indies. The compressed
sand, or porops coral rock. is permeated
like sponge with salt water, but the
rain which falls on the surface must
sink to the level OF the surrounding
sea. and must accumulate there, dis
placing an equal bulk OF the salt water.
AS the water III the lower part OF the
great sponge.hke coral mass rises and
falls with the tides, Sd will the water
near the surface, and this will keep
fresh if tlie mass be sufficiently COM
pact to prevent much mechanical al
mixture but where the land consists
of great loose blocks OF coral with open
ipterstices, if a well be dug, the water,
as have seen, is brackish.

The Constitution comments ~ fol-
lows:
"Whenever il was written, there Is
no doubt as to what inspired it. The
Virginia Democracy has declared that
the internal revenue must 60. That is
its sin that is what causes this eifu-
